Using some hi-res NASA images I've made some wallpapers from the Apollo 11 mission I thought I'd share.

The image that always grips me is the one of earth seen from the moon. Our world looks so small! And in the vastness of the universe, I guess it is. :neutral:

That's my favorite, too, although the one with the rocket going past the flag is pretty awesome as well.

Thanks, KTR, for sharing!

And since I've gone Apollo crazy I went ahead and made some Apollo 12 wallpapers as well. Too bad that Bean and Conrad only used the black & white film for their second EVA when they went to the Surveyor probe.

The Apollo Image Library is a good source for hi-res pictures. And another great source for original hi-res images is The Project Apollo Image Gallery :thumbsup:

Ok, I'm new here (just signed on about a day ago, LOL) but want to say a hyowj THANK YOU for sharing these pics.

Makes everyone feel small, I suppose - but also makes you realise it's not all doom and gloom.

THANK YOU.

:)

For obvious reasons, not many pictures to make wallpapers from Apollo 13.

You can see flight director Gene Kranz with the cigar in the last pic.
